On Wednesday morning, June 7, 2000, Natasha Van Moore was arrested on
charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, extortion, prostitution,
and other lesser charges. She spent Wednesday night incarcerated in the
Yoknapatawpha County Detention Center and was interviewed the following
morning by Detective Murphy, Detective Armstrong, and District Attorney
Jake Hood. Ms. Van Moore's attorney, Jefferson D. Young IV, was present
during the interrogation, which was conducted at the Yoknapatawpha County
Detention Center. Ms. Van Moore was in custody at the time of the interrogation
and had been advised of her rights.

SM: We know all about what you've been up to, Ms. Van Moore. Your
associates have been quite willing to tell us everything we wanted to
know. Wouldn't you like to give us your side?

NVM: As Jeff just told you, I'm not saying anything.

TA: Now's the time to try to help yourself, Natasha. The longer
you wait, the worse it's going to get. Even if you escape the death penalty,
you're still looking at spending the rest of your life behind bars. Doesn't
that worry you, even a little bit?

NVM: I haven't been convicted of anything.

JH: It's only a matter of time, I assure you. We have an excellent
case against you.

NVM: That's your opinion.

SM: Ms. Van Moore, Natasha, I hate to see a woman as young, attractive,
and obviously intelligent as yourself in this position. The evidence against
you is very strong, but maybe there's some other interpretation of it
that we're not aware of. Wouldn't you like to clear all this up now? If
Billie and Kay and Dana were running this call girl and blackmail operation
out of your own home without your knowledge, don't you think now is the
time to say so? Don't feel like you need to keep quiet out of loyalty
to protect them. They certainly haven't shown that kind of loyalty to
you.

JY: Ms. Van Moore will not be making any statements at this time
about her involvement or lack thereof in any alleged criminal activities
nor will she comment on the alleged involvement of Dana Pomeroy, Billie
Jasper, or Kay Ramsey.

TA: It doesn't look good for you, Natasha. You think all those
people you've been blackmailing are going to keep quiet now? We have the
pictures and the video tapes and they'll be entered into evidence at your
trial. Their secrets are out. They have no reason to keep their mouths
shut now.

NVM: Look! I'm not talking to y'all. I'm not answering any of
your questions. I'm not commenting on any of your so-called evidence.
The only thing I'm interested in at this moment is finding out how much
my bail will be, so I don't have to spend another night in this disgusting
place.

TA: You might as well get used to it now. You're going to be spending
a lot of years in a place much more disgusting than this.

NVM: Your little predictions don't scare me, Detective.

SM: They should. Prison life is far worse than you could ever
imagine. They don't have silk sheets there. They don't serve Lobster Newburg
or caviar or pâté or any other of the expensive foods you're
used to. You don't get designer suits to wear and you don't get expensive
hair cuts or cosmetics. All the luxuries you're used to will be gone.
Now wouldn't you like to just tell us everything and then maybe you won't
have to spend the rest of your life in conditions like that? You might
be able to spend your golden years in more comfortable surroundings than
a cramped and dirty prison cell.

NVM: That's a very vivid description, Murphy. Have you spent time
in prison yourself?

SM: Only on the visitors' side of the glass, which is the way
I'll be seeing you before too long.

NVM: Don't count on it. Jeff, isn't it time for us to go yet?

JY: My client is right. We do have to get over to the courthouse
for her arraignment. Detective Murphy, if you'd be so good as to call
the deputies to transport Ms. Van Moore to court?

SM: Yeah. I'll get right on that. Natasha, we'll be talking to
you again soon.

NVM: I look forward to it. We always have such interesting conversations.

JY: I'd like a moment alone with my client before we leave for
the courthouse.

SM: Fine. I'll tell the deputies to wait five minutes, but no
longer. I certainly wouldn't want you to be late for court.
